Which is better/cooler and would the H110 fit in a Fractal Design Define XL R2 Case?...

Also couldn't determine if BOTH fans are included in the H110...

Thanks.

Thanks Patrick.
I like the fact that the Dark Rock is the quietest air cooler available at this level of cooling and quality (german) but I didn't like the idea of all that bulk hanging off the MB (Maximus VI Formula). This also led me to consider the smaller/lighter DR3 (non 'pro' version).

On the other hand, from the most basic understanding of electricity/electronics (especially expensive electronics), I've always had a fundamental aversion to water (cooling) being anywhere near it. However, I am warming to it and it would make much more room in the case for other air flow....??

Here's the list so far by the way: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2FrVf

Cheers.

You'd go for the Zotac? Funny, that's what I originally had but decided to keep the MB & GFX both ASUS(?) Is the Zotac much better than the Asus DirectCU II? Does the extra memory really beat the faster memory? (I might double up - SLI - later)

That's great Patrick, was a bit dubious about the 2GB situation ;)
